covering the nation tonight federal agents have arrested three men in an alleged terrorist plot. the men are accused of planning to blow up a mosque in kansas. the fbi says the suspects planned to use for car bombs to destroy the apartment building. housing several somali immigrants. the attack was set to take place november 9th the day after the election. documents show them and curtis allen, patrick stein and gavin right were motivated by quote, hatred more than a dozen homes have been destroyed by wildfires in nevada. three fires are burning out of control in the washoe valley between reno and carson city. the flames were fueled by winds of up to 60 miles per hour friday. 23 homes and 17 outbuildings have burned. tonight hundreds of residents remain under evacuation. 500 firefighters are working to control that fire. the debacle over the samsung galaxy note seven continues. the devices are being banned

criminal prosecution. the faa ban comes four days after samsung urged customers worldwide to power off the faulty devices saying overheating batteries cost the phones to ignite. samsung estimates the total cost of its note seven recall will climb to more than $5 billion. one of the most contentious ballot measures regards the minimum wage in colorado. right now minimum wage is $8.31. amendment 70 would gradually increase that figure hour by 2020. the two sides have been serving up a lot of claims about what the amid -- what it would do or not do for colorado. >> specialist shaun boyd gives some of those claims a reality check. >> reporter: the ads for and against amendment 70 are so contradictory it's hard to know what to believe. so i spent some time digging into this one. let's start with arguments from supporters of the measure.

next three years. >> university of denver study says amendment 70 will add $400 million to the local economy. >> reporter: it's true. it also said there would be little to no job loss. but it didn't put a number to that. you should know the women's college at du partnered on the study with women's foundation of colorado. which funds many of the groups pushing the amendment. a different study funded by commonsense policy round table which opposes the measure found the amendment would cost the 90,000 jobs. there are many conflicting studies on the minimum wage. in terms of real-life scenarios, supporters note when colorado raised the minimum wage in 2006, it added jobs but opponents know it was the first increase in eight years. since then the minimum wage has gone up and will continue to be adjusted every year based on inflation. although that increase has averaged $0.15 a year.

regional rates when they raise the minimum wage. this brings us to their add. >> larger businesses in wealthier areas could probably weather it. but small businesses, family- owned businesses, they would be devastated. small businesses would have no choice but to cut jobs. >> reporter: that's true based on some studies. others dispute this but given the cost of living disparity between urban and rural colorado it's hard to imagine small ne for example won't be disproportionately impacted by a 44% increase in the minimum wage than in boulder. bottom line, $300 a week, the take-home pay for a full-time minimum wage worker in colorado, is not a living wage. in any part of the state. but amendment 70s one-size-fits- all approach to raising the wage will undoubtedly hurt rural areas harder than urban areas. and as such, could hurt some of
